Corporate Swag for New Employees: Cool Gifts for New Talent

In addition to guiding them through general onboarding, it’s not a bad idea to surprise new employees with welcome aboard swag that makes them feel valued while simultaneously promoting your brand or sharing a positive message. Plus, it sets the stage for lasting company loyalty.
How important is that first impression, though? The fact of the matter is that employees are more likely to stay with a company for at least three years if they have a great onboarding experience, but only 22 percent of companies have a formal program in place.
